Right, you've hit on something salient. In MJH, you had one driver, but you also had two cohosts who didn't contribute as much on the air as you'd like. So it was Mac and half-asleep Harry, fully-asleep Jurko. I thought at the time that making one of them drive from time to time might keep them engaged. Plus it keeps Mac from sounding too much like the whole damned show (thank you, RVD.)

Fast forward to now, and you got two drivers. In theory, "drivership" can switch hands silently during the show (to keep one guy from sounding snappish all the time.) Sounds like a balancing act, and one that's not completely worked out, yet.

I think some weekly segments would be good. They might be crutches, but they have their uses.

Fans, the Noon Business Hour is an hour of business and stock market discussion on our own local WBBM radio, news radio 780.

Peoria Matt, Mac is great, but do not abandon the Noon Business Hour! Heaven knows there are *more* than enough commercials in the NBH to still catch most of Mac in that hour. I've never bothered to draw up the NBH wheel, but I think the show amounts to 5 segments of about 4 minutes each. Hell it doesn't seem to even start until 11 after the hour. Then considering commercials, traffic, weather, and the redundant market updates at :25 and :55, it's gotta come out to just 20 minutes of content. But you gotta tune in - you never know when Howard Davidowitz will pop in!

I kid but they actually do a good show.

Yeah,and maybe Sylvia Plath was just cold...

Man, breaking out the literary reference on a sports board. Are you Dennis Miller?

Agreed 24....there's a lot of good info there if you can wade through the ads....and I liked your SHARK imitation with the first line of your post.
